Love & Other Disasters
by Anita Kelly
“Oh no. I forgot who cute you were.”
“Dahlia Woodson was a firefly in the darkness, a hummingbird at your window. Maybe you got to see her brightness for a fleeting moment, but you couldn’t chase her. She didn’t deserve to be caught.”
If I was better at keeping tabs, I’d have quoted at least twenty different lines, but for now these two will have to convey the two main emotions I felt while reading this book; with hearts in my eyes, and my heart in my throat.
Stupidly adorable and achingly beautiful, Dahlia, London and this book.
I am so glad to have found this book, and to have it as my first read of 2022. Before I even finished the first chapter I was sure that I would give this book 5 stars. Masterchef Australia is my ultimate comfort show and wow did this remind me of it in the best ways (I am happy to forego believing in the existence of Lizzies on MA). The initial interactions that gave grumpy/sunshine vibes which although I was here for, I was also perfectly happy to see them get along soon after.
God do I know what Dahlia meant about feeling small. It’s so easy to feel like you’re fading into the background, making way for more important and special people. And London, while I wholeheartedly believe that sometimes you can’t make it right with family, I was pleased at them being able to have at least some kind of relationship with their father, tentative and slow-moving as it may be.
The perfect start to my first full year of reading in a really long time. ♥️
